Minimalist ski touring pack built for quick access
The Ortovox Switchback 27L Backpack puts a shoulder pocket, a side compartment for crampons and climbing skins, and rope access all within reach, so the most important gear never requires taking the pack off mid-tour. Built minimalist and lightweight for long days in remote alpine terrain, it balances a genuinely technical feature set, from ski carry systems to an integrated safety compartment for shovel and probe, against the low weight demanding ski mountaineering actually calls for.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I've pulled my skins from the side compartment and clipped my ski crampons back on without ever sliding this off my shoulders. On a long tour where every stop costs time and body heat, that access adds up fast."
